Gone a Little Each Day

"Dead leaves lay still until the wind takes them here and there: even the last flower is withered: yet there is a beauty in decay. " Quote by _Constance La France What is decay but a reveal of beneath Beautiful lines traced within each leaf What of the wind that wears stone away Returning home statues a little each day Whilst I look upon your beautiful face I fear the day it'll be gone without trace There is beauty in loss, but right now we are here I need to hold close all those that are dear Already I know how memories fade I can fix this, not all my choices are made There's not always tomorrow, but there is right now Before it's too late, is something I vow What is decay, but a reminder to all That our time for living is heartbreakingly small Writing Challenge - D Quotes Poetry Contest 5th June 2023 Sponsored by: Constance La France
